4 SAFETY TIPS PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR TELEVISION If an outside antenna is connected to the television, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA No , provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit connection to grounding electrode, and requirements for the grounding electrode Note to CATV system installer: (Only for television with CATV reception). This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer s attention to Article of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS. 17. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical lights or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. 18. For added protection for the television during a lightning storm, or when it is unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect antenna. This will prevent damage due to lightning and power-line surges. OPERATION OF YOUR TELEVISION 19. This television should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply at your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For televisions designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions. 20. If the television does not operate normally by following the operating instructions, unplug the television from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Adjust only those controls that are covered in the instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified service technician to restore the television to normal operation. 21. If your television is to remain unused for a period of time, (such as when going on a holiday), turn the television OFF and unplug it from the wall outlet. IF THE TELEVISION DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY 22. If you are unable to restore normal operation by following the detailed procedure in your operating instructions, do not attempt any further adjustments. Unplug the television and call your dealer or service technician. 23. Whenever the television is damaged or fails, or if there is a distinct change in performance that indicates a need for service, unplug the television and have it checked by a qualified service technician. 24. It is normal for some televisions to make occasional snapping or popping sounds, particularly when being turned on or off. If the snapping or popping is continuous or frequent, unplug the set and consult your dealer or service technician. FOR SERVICING AND MODIFICATION 25. Do not use attachments not recommended by the television manufacturer as they may cause hazards. 26. If replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. 27. Upon completion of any service or repairs to the television, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the television is in safe operating condition. PICTURE CAUTIONS Picture Burn Prevention Continuous on-screen displays such as video games, stock market quotations, computer generated graphics, and other fixed (non-moving) patterns can cause permanent damage to projection television receivers. Such PATTERN BURNS constitute misuse and are NOT COVERED by your HITAI Factory Warranty. When using Picture-in-Picture function, the sub-picture should not be left permanently in one corner of the screen or a PATTERN BURN may develop over a long period of time. Public Viewing of Copyrighted Material Public viewing of programs broadcast by TV stations and cable companies, as well as programs from other sources, may require prior authorization from the broadcaster or owner of the video program material. 4

6 HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITAI PROJECTION TV ANTENNA Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is free from interference and multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient. LOCATION Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set. To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc. VIEWING The major benefit of the HITAI Projection Television is its large viewing screen. To see this large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimum spot for viewing. The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen. Picture brightness decreases as the viewer moves to the left and right of the receiver. During daylight hours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screens can be used to reduce the reflection or the TV can be located in a different section of the room. If the TV s audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi system s external speakers, the best audio performance will be obtained by placing the speakers equidistant from each side of the receiver cabinet and as close as possible to the height of the picture screen center. For best stereo separation, place the external speakers at least four feet from the side of the TV, place the surround speakers to the side or behind the viewing area. Differences in room sizes and acoustical environments will require some experimentation with speaker placement for best performance. CAUTION: Magnetic fields, such as those of external speakers, may cause the picture to distort if they are placed too close to the television. Move the magnetic field source away from the television until there is no picture distortion. 6

7 HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS Most video/audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables that have phono connectors. For best performance, video cables should use 75-Ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell audio/video products. Below are illustrations and names of common connectors. Before purchasing any cables, be sure of the output and input connector types required by the various components and the length of each cable. 300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna adapter (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm). S-Video (Super Video) Connector This connector is used on camcorders, VCRs, and laserdisc players with an S-Video feature in place of the standard video cable to produce a high quality picture. Phono Connector Used on all standard video and audio cables which connect to inputs and outputs located on the television s rear jack panel and front control panel. F Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the antenna jack on the television. ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACK PANEL VHF (75-Ohm) antenna/catv (Cable TV) When using a 75-Ohm coaxial cable system, connect the outdoor antenna or CATV coaxial cable to the ANT A (75-Ohm) terminal. If you have a second antenna or cable TV system, connect the coaxial cable to the ANT B terminal. VHF (300-Ohm) antenna/uhf antenna When using a 300-Ohm twin lead from an outdoor antenna, connect the VHF or UHF antenna leads to screws of the VHF or UHF adapter. Plug the adapter into the antenna terminal on the TV. When both VHF and UHF antennas are connected Attach an optional antenna cable mixer to the TV antenna terminal, and connect the cables to the antenna mixer. Consult your dealer or service store for the antenna mixer. 7

43 SET UP SET UP MAGIC FOCUS Your HITAI Projection TV has three color projection tubes: one for red, one for green, one for blue. When mixed together in the proper proportion, the output of these three color tubes can produce any color. To produce these colors, however, the beams must be precisely aligned over each other so that the colors can be mixed. The process of aligning these picture beams is called convergence. Over a period of time, the picture tubes can drift out of alignment due to normal bumps and vibrations or moving the TV. If you move your TV, or if, after a time, you notice color rings or halos around objects in the picture, you may want to converge (align) the colors. Properly converged, the lines appear white, which is actually a combination of the outputs of the three color tubes. The output of the green tube is stationary. The outputs of the red and blue tubes can be adjusted. When properly aligned, the outputs of all three tubes should be directly over each other to produce the white lines. To simplify convergence, HITAI incorporates a function called MAGIC FOCUS, which allows the TV to self-adjust. This process will take approximately 90 seconds. If this button is pressed during this 90 second period, no change in picture quality will occur. After this 90 second self-adjust period, picture quality will be optimum. (Do not move the TV during self-adjust.) To enter this self-adjust mode, you may also select MAGIC FOCUS from the SETUP Menu. However, this will display a message prompting you to press the front panel MAGIC FOCUS button. MAGIC FOCUS AUTO DIGITAL CONVERGENCE MAGIC FOCUS NOTES: Only a momentary press of the MAGIC FOCUS button is necessary to start AUTO DIGITAL CONVERGENCE. At anytime during this convergence correction process, you may press the MAGIC FOCUS button to exit the MAGIC FOCUS mode. Do not press the MAGIC FOCUS button for more than three seconds. This is only for extreme cases of misconvergence and requires assistance from service. If one of the pictures shown below appears on the television screen, press the MAGIC FOCUS button a second time to exit this manual set up mode. CENTER MODE STATIC MODE 43
